William Gill, the stage manager, has had
a varied experience, and the other evening
told some friends a story which is rather
amusing In the early sUs, when the
Black Hills excitement arose, Mr.. Gill
landed in san Francisco from Australia,
where he had been playing, and in short
time was getting along toward the bot
tom OF his pocket. Rumors of the bound
less wealth to be had almost for the ask
ing in the Black Hills were flying thick
and fast, and thither Gill concluded to 90.
His remaining money carried him u little
way. but there were 800 miles of wild
country yet to cross. Gill was plucky and
bound to reach the Hills, and he tramped
every foot of the way through region
alive with hostile Indians and where II
white mans face was rarity. He pulled
through safely, and one day entered one
of the new towns which had sprung up in
the Hills country without copper in his
pockets and faint from hunger. There
was variety theatre. Of course, and into
the managers Office he walked and asked
for work.
The manager was tough OF the tOughs
who talked through his teeth and was As
spry with his fists as with his pistol.
what can you dor he snarled.
Anything" answered Gill.
"All right. I'll give you $25 a week,
and you can 60 on tonight"
Gill worked faithfully for a week and
then walked up for his salary.
Here it is, said the manager, land l
don't want you no longer"
What's the matter, Isn't my busi-
ness all right, Don't earn my salary
"All right Why Of course it is. You're
a daisy But have TO pay you your sal
ary l amt going to pay no salaries in
this shanty. All the other ducks what
works for me owes me more at the end oi
the week than i owes them. That's the
way get even. You'll have to skip"
| And Gill had to seek another engage
ment elsewhere

weeks ago last Monday morning. The
sun rose Just as we were crawling out OF
Fenner, which is a station 200 miles east
of Mojave. 1t tipped as glorious a lake as
ever saw, all in an effulgent glow. Upon
that lake, moving to and fro in boats, was
a myriad Of people. Gliding hither and
thither, the scene reminded me OF the re-

The immense practical value Of me-
teorology has been strikingly shown at
Calcutta. The director of the Bengal me
neurological department became aware Of
the existence of a terrible storm in the
bay Of Bengal five or six days before it
reached the land, and gave timely danger
signals to keep vessels from leaving the
river at Calcutta. One steamer failed to
heed the warning, and foundered, with a
loss Of about 800 lives. Among six or
seven vessels kept safely in port were two
steamers bound over the same course As

number of passengers, whose escape from

A Sabbath school mass meeting was held
here on Sabbath evening under the direc
ton OF Martin l.. Sise and A. l.. Slayer,
officers of the county union. Speakers
from the city were expected but they failed
to come, and perhaps II was well that 1t
happened so. for persons In the audience
were called eut. and better meeting has not
been held here In a long time. Mr.. Sise
opened the exercises. and then called upon
our pastor. Rev. c. j. Burkert, who spoke
some fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Clark, . student Of Wittenberg, was
then called out, and made an excellent ad-
dress; he came, not expecting to be called
upon. but being in the community, which
happens at stated intervals, usually Of Sun
day evenings. 1t all came about very nat
urally.
Squire J. l.. Tuttle was next called out,
and made good practical talk; the esquire
is always ready with . word for Sunday
schools, as well as prohibition.
Mr.. Al Slayer, secretary Of the County
union, was then called upon. and gave us
good, sensible. earnest talk upon the work
in general. This was his first visit to Oul
church. but he made good impression. and
will ever BE- welcome. as will be oil the OtheI
speakers Of the evening. Mr.. Ross Mitchell
who Is known to all. and always a welcome
speaker. was next called upon, and, u
usual, gave US an earnest address upon the
work Of the Sabbath school. in which hs
took such deep interest for many years
until his eyesight compelled him to rslin
Quish the work to others. None have beef
more faithful or earnest in the work OF
founding and stimulating the work in the
county than Mr.. Mitchell.
The chairman. Mr.. Siss. closed with
